[Development] Webkit build failing because W32 command-line length limit

[Bruno Souza Cabrral]

@andy,
I'm building from "c:/q" and it far exceed the limit to be related to the
folder path alone.


@Ray ,
I think that build from cmd is the recommended scenario for W32.
MSYS is the other option, but it do not work without patches.
